Conklin All American Fountain Pens Reviews

I like the look and big size of this pen. I am so glad I waited for the Jowo nib! This pen punches way above it's weight class. A great alternative for an Edison Collier.

Large, impressive pen. More importantly, I've found Pen Chalet to offer the best prices and service on a consistent basis when compared to other mail order fountain pen companies. My only complaint is that they do not sell Sailor 1911 Compass series pens.

I have an addiction with the All American.
They all possess gorgeous turned acrylic which is 15mm in diameter for the barrel which is huge.
For the price, I feel you get a lot of mass for the cost. Compared to some pens which are super slim with the only thing heavy is the price.
I pretty much have all the models and can't wait for new releases of the All American in the future from Conklin.

My first All American. But not my last.
Superb turned acrylic and this Yellowstone reminds me of the 70's...Austin Powers...Yeah Baby!

The pen is a large pen. Its definitely in the oversized category. Compared to the Conklin Endura its massive. However, its a comfortable pen to hold. I got the EF nib, and it came in with a tine-tune issue. Pen Chalet got me a new nib assembly super quick and it was absolutely perfect. With the new nib assembly, the pen performs flawlessly.

I have not used this pen. My experience with Conklin pens and their writing has been very poor. The workmanship and appearance is quite lovely. I probably won't purchase any more unless they have better replacement nibs. It will be necessary to most likely buy new nibs for the pens I already have, which is an additional expense.

I am loving my All American Raven Black! This was my first time participating in FPD, and the pen does not disappoint. I had read a lot of comments online about issues with Conklin nibs, but this pen came out of the box writing butter-smooth with no hard starts at all. No tuning necessary. I decided to ink it up with Noodler's Raven Black (obviously) and it was just the perfect match. Thanks to everyone at Pen Chalet for the fantastic service and speedy delivery!

Large size is comfortable with which to write. Like color and writing ease.

Love the feel of a fat Conklin All American! Great pen!

This Conklin All American was purchased as a gift for a friend. It’s her first Conklin, and she thinks the red, white, and blue pen is just beautiful, and I agree. However, I also agree that the pen dries out more quickly than any other pen I own. I love the way they feel in the hand, especially since I have arthritis in my writing hand. If I had any constructive criticism for Conklin, it would be to greatly improve their feed and nib duo so the pen doesn’t dry out so quickly.
